Brake, Suspension, and Clearance Questions

[Cramadon02]

Ok. I'm working on upgrading my S13. A while ago, i installed Eibach Sportlines and KYB AGXs. Got a nice drop from it, but i would've liked that gap to be a little less than what it was. I'm currently running stock brake rotors and calipers.

A couple weeks ago, i bought some Q45 Calipers, and they don't clear my teardrops. So i'm definitely going to need some rims that will clear.

Here are my questions.

- Generally speaking, is there a uniform way of knowing which rims will clear the Q45 calipers? (originally i was simply looking at a set of 16 inch meshies)
- Is there another way to remove that slim plating behind the stock brake rotor (to replace with bigger slotted and cross-drilled) without having to remove the entire hub or sawing through the plate?
- Are the Megan Racing coilover conversion kits any good, or am i better off scoring a complete coilover set?
- Does anyone know what kind of clearance i would get with a set of 16s vs 17s with my current suspension set up?

Thanks in advance for you guys' help.

1.) most of the time brake clearance depends on spoke design.
2.) Cut it
3.) save up and get some good coilovers. Stance is much better for a couple hundred more.
4.) If you are worries about wheel gap you need coilovers

q45s dont have any clearance problems, all the added mass is on the inside

they'll clear anything
